SUMMARY

Dr. Iezzi's clinical interests include retinal degenerative diseases as well as all aspects of vitreoretinal surgery, with a special interest in complex retinal detachment repair associated with diabetes, trauma and proliferative vitreoretinopathy.

Focus areas

Nanoparticle-based intraocular drug delivery

Nanocomposite-based biosensors

Pharmacologic approaches to retinal neuroprotection

Retinal prosthesis development

Physiology

Significance to patient care

Dr. Iezzi's research will benefit patient care by introducing new methods of slowing retinal degeneration in patients with retinitis pigmentosa, age-related macular degeneration, retinal detachment and complex trauma. His work in the field of retinal prosthesis will eventually lead to methods for restoring vision in patients with advanced retinal degeneration.
